Success & Sanity

Enjoying a balanced life—one infused with peace, meaningful relationships, and a compelling purpose—seems like a pipedream to many of us. If we’re dedicated to achieving our full potential in our careers, our home life and health often suffer. But we’re often afraid that devoting too much time to our families, mental health, and physical fitness will cause us to fall behind at work. We live in this tension every day. In this book, Troy Korsgaden is honest about his struggles to achieve this kind of balance. He has found the keys to success and sanity, and shares his insights on his lifelong process to apply these principles.
